"Women Behaving Badly" Served Up

Feast on life stories from the new anthology, "Women Behaving Badly, Feisty Flash Fiction Stories." The new book reflects a myriad of women's experiences, although women wrote not all of the 50 stories. The book challenges the perspective on what is bad and what is good behavior through these experiences.

Well-known Chef, Author and Owner of C'est Si Bon: A Chapel Hill Cooking School, Dorette Snover contributed her story, "Aboyer -- The Little Announcer" to the collection of flash fiction stories. In Snover's story, Aboyer -- The Little Announcer, visits with Eleone, a butter-maker in 19th century Paris, while she waits for her daughter, Cocotte to join her at Cafe Brulot.

Influenced by French heritage and the food traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country where she was born and raised, Snover graduated from Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania with a degree in Home Economics Education in 1978, and then the Culinary Institute of America in 1983.

In Colorado Snover spent ten years as a private chef to the Rich and Eccentric. Since 1990 she has pursued the world of food styling and writing in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Snover has worked on video, print, and live TV. From 1992 - 1998 she was the Food Editor of the Chapel Hill News, while her non-fiction pieces have appeared in Fine Cooking, Kitchen Gardener, AOL, and on NPR. Snover has also appeared on Food TV and PBS. In Chapel Hill she can be found teaching le fond de cuisine at A Southern Season and the Carrboro Farmer's Market, as well as in the kitchen of C'est Si Bon! Snover, along with her husband and Rich, also leads tours to Provence and Tuscany for both adults, looking for truffles in all the right places, and for teens interested in exploring the world through a culinary map.

For those interested in exploring the world through a culinary map, join C'est Si Bon on upcoming artisanal culinary tours in the heart of Provence and Tuscany.
